OpenSSH server

This section documents the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. SSH is used to remotely manage computer systems, secururly transfer files over untrusted networks and to create "ad-hoc" virtual-private networks.

SSH is defined by the following Internet Standards (RFCs):

OpenSSH

• OpenSSH is the most popular implementation of the SSH protocol.
• It is maintained by the OpenBSD project and portable versions are disitributed with many unix-like operating-systems and Windows Server.

Tested with Version

• OpenSSH 6.6p1 (Gentoo)
• OpenSSH 6.6p1-2 on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
• OpenSSH 7.2p2 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

Kompatibilität

• Older Linux systems won’t support SHA2
• PuTTY (Windows) does not support RIPE-MD160.
• Curve25519, AES-GCM and UMAC are only available upstream (OpenSSH 6.6p1).
• DSA host keys have been removed on purpose, the DSS standard does not support for DSA keys stronger than 1024bit [5] which is far below current standards (see section #section:keylengths).
• Legacy systems can use this configuration and simply omit unsupported ciphers, key exchange algorithms and MACs.

References

The OpenSSH sshd_config — OpenSSH SSH daemon configuration file man page is the best reference:

How to test

Connect a client with verbose logging enabled to the SSH server $ ssh -vvv myserver.com and observe the key exchange in the output.

Cisco ASA

Tested with Versions

• 9.1(3)

Settings

• crypto key generate rsa modulus 2048
• ssh version 2
• ssh key-exchange group dh-group14-sha1

• When the ASA is configured for SSH, by default both SSH versions 1 and 2 are allowed.
• In addition to that, only a group1 DH-key-exchange is used.
• This should be changed to allow only SSH version 2 and to use a key-exchange with group14.
• The generated RSA key should be 2048 bit (the actual supported maximum).
• A non-cryptographic best practice is to reconfigure the lines to only allow SSH-logins.

Configuration

Different versions of OpenSSH support different options which are not always compatible.

• This guide shows settings for the most commonly deployed OpenSSH versions at Mozilla - however, using the latest version of OpenSSH is recommended.

# Additionally, only tools such as systemd and auditd record the process session id.
# On other OSes, the user session id is not necessarily recorded at all kernel-side.
# Using regular users in combination with /bin/su or /usr/bin/sudo ensure a clear audit track.

PermitRootLogin No

# Use kernel sandbox mechanisms where possible in unprivileged processes
# Systrace on OpenBSD, Seccomp on Linux, seatbelt on MacOSX/Darwin, rlimit elsewhere.

File: /etc/ssh/moduli

All Diffie-Hellman moduli in use should be at least 3072-bit-long (they are used for diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256) as per our Security/Guidelines/Key_Management recommendations.

• See also man moduli.

To deactivate short moduli in two commands: awk '$5 >= 3071' /etc/ssh/moduli > /etc/ssh/moduli.tmp && mv /etc/ssh/moduli.tmp /etc/ssh/moduli

This is mainly for use by RHEL6, CentOS6, etc.

PermitRootLogin No

File: /etc/ssh/moduli

All Diffie-Hellman moduli in use should be at least 2048-bit-long.

• From the structure of moduli files, this means the fifth field of all lines in this file should be greater than or equal to 2047.

To deactivate weak moduli in two commands: awk '$5 >= 2047' /etc/ssh/moduli > /etc/ssh/moduli.tmp && mv /etc/ssh/moduli.tmp /etc/ssh/moduli

Multi-Factor Authentication (OpenSSH 6.3+)

Recent versions of OpenSSH support MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication).

• Using MFA is recommended where possible.

It requires additional setup, such as using the OATH Toolkit or DuoSecurity.

OpenSSH 6.3+ (default)

File: /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# IMPORTANT: you will have to ensure OpenSSH cannot authenticate with passwords with PAM in /etc/pam.d/sshd
# "PasswordAuthentication no" is not sufficient!
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no
AuthenticationMethods publickey,keyboard-interactive:pam
KbdInteractiveAuthentication yes
UsePAM yes
# Ensure /bin/login is not used so that it cannot bypass PAM settings for sshd.
UseLogin no

OpenSSH 5.3+ w/ RedHat/CentOS patch (old)

File: /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# Allow keyboard-interactive.
# IMPORTANT: you will have to ensure OpenSSH cannot authenticate with passwords with PAM in /etc/pam.d/sshd
# "PasswordAuthentication no" is not sufficient!
RequiredAuthentications2 publickey,keyboard-interactive:skey
PasswordAuthentication no
ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes
UsePAM yes
# Ensure /bin/login is not used so that it cannot bypass PAM settings for sshd.
UseLogin no

PAM configuration for use with the OATH Toolkit or DuoSecurity as second authentication factor. 

File: /etc/pam.d/sshd

#%PAM-1.0

# WARNING: make sure any password authentication module is disabled.

account    required     pam_nologin.so

Ciphers and algorithms choice

• When CHACHA20 (OpenSSH 6.5+) is not available, AES-GCM (OpenSSH 6.1+) and any other algorithm using EtM (Encrypt then MAC) disclose the packet length - giving some information to the attacker.
• Only recent OpenSSH servers and client support CHACHA20.

• NIST curves (ecdh-sha2-nistp512,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp256) are listed for compatibility, but the use of curve25519 is generally preferred.

• SSH protocol 2 supports DH and ECDH key-exchange as well as forward secrecy.
• Regarding group sizes, please refer to Security/Guidelines/Key_Management.

The various algorithms supported by a particular OpenSSH version can be listed with the following commands:

$ ssh -Q cipher
$ ssh -Q cipher-auth
$ ssh -Q mac
$ ssh -Q kex
$ ssh -Q key
